Description
This Sorbus aucuparia ‘Fastigiata’ is a narrow columnar Mountain Ash with smooth olive green bark and stout, closely erect stems bearing green foliage that is held throughout the season. The foliage then turns yellow/orange in autumn. The clusters of white flowers in spring are followed by red berries into winter.
This is a tough and hardy tree and is tolerant of atmospheric pollution. It prefers cooler spots, thriving on most soil types and is an ideal vertical accent in the landscape. Slow growing and makes a stunning tree with the dark red berries contrasting beautifully with the dark green foliage.
